Private Bush Retreat

Private Bush Retreat
Is it time for a romantic getaway or fun with the family and friends? Escape the hectic city life and head for the bush!
You can now experience the beautiful Gymea House Retreat over a luxurious weekend or relaxing full week with your loved one or friends. This stunning eco-retreat sits high on the ridge overlooking Yengo National Park with magnificent views across the valley. The exclusive 100 acre property is a natural wonderland just an hour north of Sydney.

Gymea House Retreat is a lavish dwelling, unique in its architectural brilliance and fully self-contained with everything you could possibly desire. Think gourmet kitchen, alfresco BBQ, vast living and dining areas, gas fireplace and new private resort-style pool and spa. You can stay cool inside the chic space with air-con and state-of-the-art audio/visual entertaining system.

Gymea House Retreat creates the perfect world for a weekend escape... it's private, peaceful and displays nature at it's best!

Secluded beauty
We needed a quiet place for a few days and this lovely home ticked all the boxes. Pool is gorgeous, spa amazing, tennis just down the hill. Extra effort to provide privacy for the homes on large country estate. The house was well planned and comfortable. The garage level to upstairs, spotless, and large enough open back of car whiile door is closed. Views lovely over bushland on steep hill. Only negative is that we didn't bring our friends or family. Would be a great escape for a gathering. Plenty of space for a large group. Adam and Simone friendly and efficient.

Stunning location, house was beautiful, Rod was a fantastic host.
Myself and a few of my closest friends spent 3 nights in the Gymea House over the New Years period. We were absolutely blown away by the house and surrounds. The house was sparkling clean, the kitchen, bedrooms and living spaces were spacious and had everything you could imagine and more! It felt like a proper retreat and we had the most wonderful time. Rod was a lovely and friendly host. He was very easy to communicate with and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back again later in the year! Thanks again Rod and the team at Noonaweena.
